Meet the owner of Tucson Massage CE Institute


Dianne ‘Mo’ Taith, M.S., L.M.T.

Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to helping others, creating healing salves from plants, oils, and mud. My early experiences of being bullied for my weight taught me empathy and inspired me to boost others’ confidence and self-worth.

Service is my love language, which led me to establish Tucson Massage CE Institute, where I share my knowledge as a wellness facilitator, massage therapist, and lifelong learner. My goal is to educate and support individuals seeking to refine their craft and enhance their clients’ well-being.

I began my massage therapy journey in 2010 and earned a Medical Massage certification from SWIHA in 2011. My diverse experience includes working at a Scottsdale day spa, with a Phoenix chiropractor, and providing oncology massages at Cancer Treatment Centers of America and Miraval’s Life in Balance Spa.

Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Somatic Experiencing, my practice focuses on holistic healing, emotional trauma release, and managing chronic pain and stress. As the owner and educator at Tucson Massage CE Institute and manager of The Wellness Center on 7th Avenue, I strive to create nurturing spaces for wellness.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my Great Dane, Anakin, and gardening.

Never stop learning!
